Professional PVC thigh boots: robust waterproofing made in Europe
When the water rises, your equipment must hold up.
Don't let a weak seam ruin your fishing trip or your workday. PVC waders aren't supermarket gadgets. They're a work tool designed for water professionals ( fish farming, sanitation, maintenance ) and anglers who demand absolute waterproofing up to the thighs. Made in Europe with Plavitex technical fabric, they're built to last where others fail.
✅ Why do professionals and enthusiasts choose this model?
Looking for durability? Here's why this model is the benchmark in the field:
➡️ Plavitex® Heavy Duty technology
- Characteristic: Technical fabric based on PVC on polyester backing, controlled thickness and resistance.
- This allows you to cross brambles and withstand friction against concrete or rocks without fear of immediate tearing. It's a flexible armor, 100% waterproof and windproof.
➡️ High-frequency bilateral welding
- Feature: The joints are not sewn, they are hot-fused (HF technology).
- This allows you to say goodbye to leaks. That's the weak point of low-end thigh-high boots: the seam that comes undone. Here, the material is a single, seamless unit. The waterproofing is structural and permanent.
➡️ Adjustable belt attachment straps
- Feature: Sturdy straps with quick buckles to attach the thigh-high boot to your trouser belt.
- This allows you to walk without the thigh-high boot slipping down with every step. The support is perfect, and you retain your freedom of movement, whether you're kneeling or stepping over an obstacle.
➡️ High-quality injected boots
- Feature: Robust PVC boot welded directly to the leg guard.
- This allows you to maintain reliable grip on muddy or slippery bottoms thanks to an effective notched sole.

👁️ Pro Tip: Maintenance & Durability
Your thigh-high boots take care of you, so take care of them. To maximize their lifespan, follow these golden rules:
- Rinsing is essential 🚿: After each outing, give it a quick rinse with clean water to remove mud, salt or chemicals that attack PVC over time.
- Vertical drying 💨: Hang them by the boots. Moisture (perspiration) must be able to escape.
- Careful storage 🧱: Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight (UV), do not fold them. Store them hanging.
💡 Tip : Use our wall mount for optimal drying without deforming the stem.
- Easy repair 🩹: A tear? Don't panic. Plavitex repairs very easily with flexible PVC glue and a patch. No need to throw it away, just repair and be good to go.

✅ Complete your equipment: comfort and logistics
To transform a good experience into a perfect one, don't neglect the details:
- ❄️ For cold weather: Add our thermal booties . These waders are not thermally insulated. With the booties, you gain immediate insulation for cold water or winter static sessions.
- 🧱 For storage: Use our universal wall-mounted rack . A folded thigh-high boot is a thigh-high boot that will get damaged. Store them upside down for perfect drying and zero creases.
